Using the innovative Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch Photonics technology, the Alcatel-Lucent1830PSSdeliversadvancedCWDMand DWDM transport capabilities in a highly scalable and versatile package. TheAlcatel-Lucent1830PSSsupportsinterofficecore transport and wavelength multiservice capabilities such asSONET/SDHandGigabitEthernet(GigE)/10GigE. This support allows operators to enhance their revenue opportunities by offering an intelligent optical layer for delivering voice, video and data services while minimizing OPEX and CAPEX. 4 Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch The highly efficient Alcatel-Lucent Zero Touch Photonics layer enables service providers to lower transport-network costs by eliminating unnecessary optical-to-electricalto-optical (OEO) conversions. This also ensures the network can support future traffic demands and scale to multipletensofchannelsatanyrate--10Gb/s, 40Gb/s, 100Gb/s--byeliminatingthetechnologyconstraints that may be imposed by OEO network architectures when appliedtohighscalableWDMnetworking(seeFigure2). Control plane enhancements improve the operations environment by providing automated support, including autodiscovery of new circuit packs, turn-up and continuous servicelevelagreement(SLA)monitoring. Enabling the 100G era Addressing the need for continuous scaling of bandwidth across the network driven by bandwidth-intensive Web 2. 0 applications, video and supercomputing is a must for the communication service providers. Alcatel-Lucent next-generation coherent technology enables operators to migrate their network infrastructure to100Gb/sandbeyond, inacost-effectiveandautomated manner, without loss of performance.
